Part of an extensive division of Shanachie dealing with South African popular music, this album covers a bit of the Zulu, Shangaan, and jive styles. All of it has a nice bouncing beat to it which is popular in the continent. While none of the biggest names in any of the genres are present, there are still worthwhile representatives available. Despite this, the album presents a relatively coherent picture of the liveliness of the South African styles, largely based in Soweto. The harmonies are always present, with the group dynamic being the important factor in each song. The instrumental backings are also competent throughout, giving the vocalists the beat to follow.
